Great. Thanks.

Well, that is no problem at all for me. Typically after a couple of days, I
don't look back at old data, and if I do, I can very well make the mental
adjustment during the transition period.
I am not sure how much historical data you keep or how much you want to keep,
but off hand, I would say that anything more than 2 or 3 weeks doesn't make
much sense. Generally, anything that breaks we look at and try to fix as
soon as practical so it is more or less a forward moving process ...

Thanks.
